Some of the clubs I belong to:


Seems a lot of them go inactive after a while, so I keep looking for good reliable and happening groups to join.

I'm in the market for a new camera. I told my daughter I would give her my old DSLR (Canon Rebel) when I got a new one. She has a good eye so I really want her to have it sooner rather than later.

I have canon lenses, so I'll go with that brand. Any suggestions for a step up from a rebel will be appreciated.

All these photos of mine have been marked hot! This means that the number of votes, comments, views and favorites on these photos have made it rank highly within their themes.

OK, I'm not sure what this means. But go vote for me anyway:

"Stripes and Squares"
"Kiwi"
"Birth in the Sun"
"GummyBear Immigrant Experience"

2007 was a great year for me. I got to go to Ecuador and I trained for and completed a marathon. Plus I think I was a better person than I was in previous years -- much more at peace with myself.

I am not sure how 2008 will top it, but I have a few goals in mind.

Good news: I did it! I ran the marathon (all 26.2 miles in 4 hrs 54 minutes)!! And I raised $2400 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! YEAH!!! --pats self on the back--

Bad news: My cat knocked over my camera and now my all purpose lens broke! So unless I take macros or telephotos all the time, I'm out of luck. I'm hoping to save up for this in a few months so I can resume general photography.
